Comments about Canon Canon Digital Rebel XTi Chrome SLR Camera Kit, with 2 GB CF Memory Card, Spare NB-2LH Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, Slinger System Bag:

great camera for the begining photographer, or as an upgrade from a film camera. not alot of options, but for a beginer, you dont WANT alot of options, it just confuses the matter. KISS principle and all.

having the option to select an RGB histogram over just a luminance histogram makes this a better buy over the xt, not to mention the better resolution and bigger LCD as well.

if you buy one with the "kit" style EF-S lenses, upgrade to a better quality lense asap. in canon the ones to look for are the "L" series, in sigma it is the "EX" series, and tamron and tokina both have thier own "pro" series lenses as well. put one of these good pieces of glass on the front of the camera and you should not be dissapointed.
